Pink eye is generally treatable. It typically presents with symptoms such as eye discomfort, pain, fever, and excessive tearing. This condition occurs when the eye becomes infected due to invasion by bacteria or viruses, leading to inflammation of the eye and resulting in conjunctivitis (pink eye). It is important to maintain good eye hygiene, avoid bright light whenever possible, minimize eye strain to protect the eyes, and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods. Following these measures can help treat pink eye more quickly and promote a faster recovery to health.
